from Dec-09 issue of AFM;

' a ceremony at Linkoping, Sweden, on October 21 marked the commencement of the final phase of testing of the PAF's Saab Erieye airborne early warning & control aircraft. This will be followed later this year by more trials in Pakistan, aimed at testing the complete system, including aircraft, radar C2 systems, communication and live situational picture in the PAF's Command and Control Ground Environment.'
